If you’re anything like me, you’ve scrolled past dozens of ready-to-drink canned cocktails this summer, wondering if any of them actually taste good. I finally tried the buzz-worthy SipMARGS, the sparkling margarita brand co-signed by none other than social media star Alix Earle, and let me tell you—these are 100% worth the hype. These would be so good to bring to a summer BBQ, a lakeside picnic or just your own backyard.
SipMARGS is a premium canned margarita made with Blanco tequila from Jalisco, Mexico, real fruit juice, cane sugar and sparkling water. Each 12oz can clocks in at 5% ABV, just 130 calories and only 6 grams of sugar. That’s a solid balance for anyone who wants a light, refreshing drink without the sugar bomb.
The flavors include Classic, Mango, Coconut, Mezcal and Spicy, and they’re all impressive, but Coconut is the one I keep reaching for. It’s like sipping a beach vacation: cool, crisp and subtly tropical without being overly sweet. The light carbonation gives it a super refreshing lift, setting it apart from other heavier, syrupy canned cocktails that line the shelves at grocery stores nationwide.

I also loved how fresh and high-quality these tasted—no weird malt liquor aftertaste or artificial flavors. Whether you’re lounging poolside, hosting friends for a backyard barbecue or just looking to crack open something fun on a Friday, these absolutely hit the spot.
And let’s talk packaging: the cans are just so cute. Minimal and modern with a beachy vibe, they look great chilling in a cooler with a few other fun non-alcoholic drinks to round things out. If you’re bringing drinks to a get-together, these are the kind that get people asking, “Ooh, what are those?”
Available online and in select stores in New York, Florida, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Virginia and Michigan, you can grab 4-packs or a variety 8-pack to find your favorite flavor (the variety pack includes Classic, Mango, Coconut and Spicy). You can also find them on Gopuff if you’re in New York or Florida and need a quick delivery for a last-minute hang.
Overall, SipMARGS delivers on every front: flavor, quality, and vibe. If you’re looking for an easy, elevated summer cocktail that actually lives up to its social media glow-up, grab a pack of these and thank me later.
Pro tip: Start with Coconut—you’ll feel like you’re on vacation with the first sip.
